TRUTH - I Timothy 2:1-4

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving
be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, 

that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 

This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 

who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 

I Timothy 2:1-4

God wants all people to be saved - to have a real, certain and actual salvation.  He bears good will to all mankind as they are his creation and the work of His hands.  This is absolute and unconditional.  He wants the salvation of all, so He desires prayer for all.

God wants all people to come to a knowledge of the truth.  It should be proclaimed and then it is the duty of all who hear to acknowledge and receive the truth.  Acknowledgement makes it the rule or model and director of life and actions.  If believers do not know the truth, they cannot be guided by it.
